Subject: What do you expect of the new Halo: Reach multiplayer?

First of all, let's all be sure that this is a new multiplayer. They are releasing a beta with H3: ODST. The purpose of a beta is to give people some of what they haven't seen before, while finding out what errors they have to fix before release. Neither of these would apply if it was the same multiplayer.

Also, you will obviously be playing as a Spartan. Halo: The Fall of Reach is a book about Spartans (spoiler?). I think it is pretty safe to assume that you will be playing as a Spartan(s) in campaign and multiplayer.

So, what do you think will be different in the Halo: Reach multiplayer experience?
Obvious ones:
-Better graphics (not that they aren't good already)
-New maps (probably not an entire new slate; we may see some of our favorites carry over)

What do you think will be different?

If there is a new forge map, a forge (the same engine or a new one, as long as it works), and a custom game maker simmilar or better to the current H3 one, ill love it.

oh god

you do realise that the halo CE pistol(the super powerful ultra BR)existed before MLG right?

I hope they make the MP more skill-based than it was for Halo 2 or Halo 3.

I want (at least the option for) -

Reduced Aim Assist
Increased player strafe and movement speed
Longer range on all weapons
A mid to long range weapon that is based on player accuracy.

Among a lot of other things.

Hmm... someone seems to be quite interested with Halo: Reach quite quickly.... You do that to your Gamertag too?

Actually, it would be very interesting to put in a vehicle with an EMP ability.
But if you're going to copy off Halo Wars, the Locust is a walking, beam firing, metal structure of win.

Hopefully bungie have realized that halo 3 multi-player is way to nub friendly and decide to listen to their real fans and make the multi-player they should have made for halo 3, halo 2 with better graphics.....

I wonder if we will have armor customization, because in the book, I think everyone was issued the Mark V armor.

Lol, Halo 2 was even worse.

It will be FPS. I expect a new engine and that's about it.

Agreed. In every way... expect for the patched H2 BR. Other then that, H3 is the better game MP over H2. And Halo 1 beats them both by a proverbial mile.

Words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen. The words are all around but the words are only sound. But nobody seems to listen. Instead they'll say, "Well how could we of known?" I'll tell em, "It's really not so hard to tell. keep adding stones, and the water gets lost in the well."

I agree with pretty much what he is said. I would like to see a forge system COMPLETELY built with all the options that Sandbox has to offer.

  • 06.03.2009 11:37 PM PDT

I want it to be different, but totally Bungie-quality work. That's all that matters.

I could actually post all that I want, but the post would be like 2 pages long.

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

more cowbell!! and a pelican..

GT: FatalxXxFrenzy -Check out my fileshare!! Map titled "Lagoon"

I don't want the assualt rifle to be able to fight everything. It made halo 3 multiplayer not as fun. Yes the graphics were better and more detailed. But in halo 2 you started with a smg and had to go and fight for the better weapons. In 3 its like "oh cool assualt rifle....CHARGE!!!" ....first to shoot wins. and ofcourse keep the br starts for some variants. Make a better cover system. We need to be able to take cover and such. COD4 did a great job at this. add a clan system like in halo 2. Make the game slightly faster paced. When someone leaves make it NOT have to reload the whole game.

Well...I think there will be some upcomming suprises....Bungie already had our heads thinking there might never be the same Halo game again because it shows the unexplained death of Master Cheif in the end of Halo 3....Bungie seems to be directing all this into new, more exciting ideas...the Halo trilogy as we know it from halo one is dead....there are new games to be explored and now a new platform to build off of....of course the graphics are going to be tremendously improved(you can see it in the ODST trailer)...The step from Halo 3 to Halo ODST is without a doubt a nockout...Graphics are baisically set to be improved, garunteed....as for MAPS, like I said, "There are new ideas out there. We will se suprises."
